Dusseldorf – dynamic global city

A regional state capital with an international airport and historic old town, home to over 23 of the world’s leading trade fairs, head offices of global companies, artists and a creative economy, medical services and an array of upscale shops – and renowned for its relaxed Rhenish lifestyle and popular annual carnival celebrations.

A Fantastic City with its own discrete Charm

With its stunning diversity, Dusseldorf is the most attractive city on the River Rhine, offering a wealth of fun and fascination for visitors of all ages – whatever the time of the year. Dusseldorf, with a population of well over half a million, belongs to the ‚Big five‘ – the five key global interfaces in Germany for business, transport, culture and politics. No wonder this federal state capital is an attractive destination for major investors and star architects such as Frank Gehry or, most recently, Daniel Libeskind – not least as a location for their architectural masterpieces.

Creativity is a signature feature of the city. After all, what would modern art be without Dusseldorf‘s Joseph Beuys, Gerhard Richter and Andreas Gursky? And those are just three of the most renowned artists from the influential Dusseldorf Art Academy. Naturally, thanks to Dusseldorf‘s prosperity, it also has a thriving banking sector – with the city ranked as Germany‘s number two banking and stock market location directly after Frankfurt.

Guests arriving alone or with their family can look forward to a clean, green city with many charming traditions, an elegant, cosmopolitan lifestyle, and major events every week.
